We have all been there, with our list of excuses on why "we can't work-out".

This is especially true for us, since our lives usually involve moving from one place to another in very short periods of time. We got to fooling ourselves into believing that we couldn't find a way to make exercise fit into our nomadic lifestyle. This is why we have decided to share the 3 things that were keeping us from exercising and how we solved them:

You need a gym to work-out

While it is ideal to be able to hit the gym at all times, sometimes we are unable to access one. In these cases finding a park to get moving can be just as effective.

I don't have sports-clothes (at least not cool ones)

Crucial! Getting excited about working-out is the first step into making it a lifestyle, and the best way to do this is by shopping for the perfect gear. If you look and feel good in your work-out clothes, then trust us, this will play a big role into motivating you to get off the couch. For us, Nike is the brand that totally gets this. It provides specialized gear for the different activities that you might be into: be it training leggings that adjust perfectly to your body for running (like the ones above), shoes that are light and versatile, yoga pants that are fun and stylish, or you name it! Whatever your jam may be, you get to be incredibly comfortable while still looking fierce!

Which also brings us to personalization. What we loved most about getting our Nike sports gear was how we were able to reflect our own personal style. This is something that was very hard to achieve with active-wear in the past, and it has now changed our attitudes towards exercise altogether.

You're too busy

Having a lot on your plate definitely makes things challenging, but its important to keep in mind that every step counts! (literally). Walking to our every destination eventually led to jogging in the park. When we travel we engage in outdoor activities as much as we can, and when we definitely can't squeeze in a proper work-out, just 2 reps of 10 sit-ups before every meal helps tremendously! (seriously, this makes a difference).

For us, these baby-steps were important to stay motivated. Now, sports-clothes are not only a big part of our wardrobe (since we wear them daily), but are also on our top travel essentials!
